rx888 mk2 no receive

#1

Unread post by booncer »

Hi There, new user,
I have installed my rx888 mk2 and the dependency's I have no signal on receive on either the hf or the vhf antennas.
SDR console seems to see the rx888 mk2 I'm wondering if there's any other drivers or settings i may have missed.

asus A15 usb 3.2 gen 2
microsoft c++ redistributables 2008 2010 2013 2015-2019 x86/x64
cyprus fx3
cyprus api
SDR console 3.0.27 x64

Regards
Mark

Probably a silly question but have you gone into the radio menu, set HF attn to 0 and wound up the gains to max? Tools, options Performance, do you see any readings when it's running? Even if I turn down the gain to min and max attenuation to lose every last signal I can still see plenty of of FFT and CPU activity on the usage meter.

The screenshots title shows it was discovered as an RX666.
You should delete this and rediscover the radio as an RX888.
Good luck.

While the MKII seems to be up and alive for me, it doesn't look like it is seeing any signals. Any thoughts?

Does it work with HDSDR and the recommended DLL?
This is the main software the developer uses.
I'm not sure if Simon has checked the Mk 2 version?

The Mk 2 version works.

You have the HF gain set all the way up in that screenshot.
Set the gain down to 40 or 50.
Good luck.
